We're almost at the top 5 albums, check out three more albums that did well on 2008.
| 08. Katy Perry - One Of The Boys
Katy Perry is one of the most controversial new artist this year thanks to her One Of The Boys album. Songs like Ur So Gay and the smash hit I Kissed A Girl have been cited as being homophobic and gay periodicals. But nevertheless, Katy Perry's music is really catchy and unique. One Of The Boys might not peaked higher in the US albums chart, but it's still a fun album to listen to. Tracks like Hot N Cold and Waking Up In Vegas are the best from this album. Katy is just a new artist and she already made it big with her debut album and singles. Who knows what unexpected projects she will do in the future, we just have to stay tune for that.
* Favorite Tracks: Ur So Gay, Waking Up In Vegas, One Of The Boys, I Kissed A Girl, Hot N Cold |

07. Kanye West - 808s & Heartbreaks
Kanye West returns with his follow-up to Graduation with 808s and Heartbreaks. This is a personal album where Kanye turns his bad experiences into music. The loss, loneliness and longing for companionship and a sense of normalcy served to inspire the conception 808s & Heartbreak. Kanye mentioned that this album was therapeutic, that it's lonely at the top. It's obvious to see that with the titles of the songs from this album like Welcome to Heartbreak, Bad News and Coldest Winter. My favorite tracks are Love Lockdown, Amazing and Robocop because of its irresistible beat. Kanye once again returned once again to the top spot with this album, a little bit personal but it's another masterpiece.
* Favorite Tracks: Amazing, Bad News, Robocop, Love Lockdown, Heartless |

06. Natasha Bedingfield - Pocketful Of Sunshine
Placing at the 6th spot is Natasha Bedingfield with Pocketful Of Sunshine. I have to say I even like her with this album. This just proves that Natasha is growing as a singer together as well as her music. Just like what the title of the album implies, the main theme Natasha delivers is positive outlook in life. Pocketful Of Sunshine, Put Your Arms Around Me and Freckles are what makes this album relaxing while her emotional song Soulmate stands out among the rest. With the album peaking at #03 in the albums chart, Natasha proves that she is worth to be an international artist both in UK and US.
* Favorite Tracks: Not Givin' Up, Put Your Arms Around Me, Love Like This, Pocketful Of Sunshine, Soulmate |
